Science can inform how to solve the challenges to address the plastics pollution crisis. Ecotoxicology expert Bethanie Carney Almroth #PlasticsTreaty #INC4 w/ the Scientistsโ Coalition For An Effective #PlasticsTreaty explains why science needs to be robust, independent, & free from conflict of interests.
Scientists have demonstrated that a 12-ounce paper cupโs plastic lining sheds more than 1.5 trillion tiny plastic particles into the liquid it holds. โ

Made a movie demonstrating how to clean out Filtrol for a current Oregon Sea Grant project with ACE Lab & OSU Hatfield. We'll be installing them in coastal towns to capture fibers.
It's action packed and rated G ๐๐๐งฆ #filtrolthemovie #MPSOS pnwmicroplastics
Yesterday, we met with Rep. Jared Huffman at #INC4 , and we're proud to continue guiding an effective #PlasticsTreaty using science.
The Scientists Coalition for an Effective Plastics Treaty (@Scientists_Coa) includes 350 scientists who can support negotiators with facts and evidence.
Hi friends ๐ฑโ live chat about plastics TOMORROW โ w/ Food & Water Watch โ details below. #PlasticPollution #PlasticsTreaty cc SEHN #envhist
The first day of #INC4 negotiations for a #PlasticsTreaty had plenary sessions most of the day and contact groups that stretched to the early evening. Here are #BreakFreeFromPlastic highs โ lows โas well as the key stories from today - A thread๐งต
The connection between #plastic & our health is clear: plastic poisons people. We need strong legislation that prioritizes PEOPLEโnot profitsโin the #PlasticsTreaty !

Scientists from the Scientists' Coalition for Effective PlasticsTreaty are in Ottawa at #INC4 #PlasticsTreaty negotiations to support delegates with robust independent #science . Come find us!
As a faculty member who leads a lab and conducts coastal research, I see how much impact experiential learning has on my students and the progression of marine research at OSU.
Pls consider giving a gift to beav.es/cL4 or beav.es/car this #DamProudDay !
